On the net, everybody thinks that they have an important viewpoint or insight. In a real life conversation, if someone did that you could just roll your eyes at them and and excuse yourself to go get another beer and move on.

wait wait wait...

Are you telling me when I do the same thing in real life conversation and I see that response, that its NOT them walking away in defeat because my opinion is the only correct one?? And I always thought they were getting me a beer as a peace offering, but only forgot halfway through.

"Filled with mingled cream and amber I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber through the chambers of my brain--Quaintest thoughts--queerest fancies come to life and fade away; Who cares how time advances? I am drinking ale today"-Edgar Alan Poe

I guess not fuuny, but anecdotal. I love when people who have no idea that you can make beer yourself talk to me (a coworker was just doing this). They are always so amazed at the process, equipment, and ability. So am I still, truth be told, but it is just cool seeing those reactions. Reminds me of my first brewery tour where everything inspired awe.

Went to TGI Fridays today because I got a gift card. Beer selection was pretty bad so I settled with one I hadn't had but seemed most likely to be a decent "craft" brew

Me: ill have a newcastle brown ale
Waitress: a Newcastle?? (Looks confused)
Me: (trying to help the confusion) do you need my ID or something?
Waitress: umm it's a drink?
I nod
Waitress: um yes please let me see it, anyone who looks under 40 sorry no offense
Me: oh no problem
Waitress: so a new, castle? That's a beer or a cocktail? Sorry I don't drink much

I tend not to be rude to people handling my food and drinks, also I am fairly certain she was new, and she was extremely polite, and apologetic, so I'm not going to flip out on some poor waitress like a dbag, but if she wasn't new then what the hell is wrong with her? I don't care if you don't drink you should know what your restaurant is selling. I have a feeling many people besides myself ask before almost anything else, "what do you have on draft?"

Oh and she came back to tell me they were out of newcastle, so I still haven't had it, is this a good beer?
